omG..i adore this one...

this is actually hot and peppery and very much like rat king to me

there is a masculine edge and some patchouli with crunchy leaves...this lasts

and lasts and i am totally in love ... cannot wait to use this in the cooler autumn months

straight sniff from bottle is all about the blueberry...yum!!

once applied the ginger, tea and vanilla swirl with the delicious blueberry goodness...my oh my

i am beyond thrilled to own a bottle of this beauty...a whisper of delicate florals balances

this out perfectly...

as time goes by, this just gets better and better...the best blueberry scent the lab has to date...bravo beth!!

straight sniff from bottle is herb-y purple yumminess...

once applied there's the sandalwood and amber and oakmoss...very lovely

i really like the tobacco note in this blend as well...

after awhile this actually turns very floral and slightly fruity...nice

straight sniff from bottle is very sweet and green...how pretty!!

once applied musky cucumber and light florals...this packs quite a punch and has

great throw...

i also l-o-v-e the label...a winner!!

straight sniff from bottle is really foody?? huh?!

orangey cake ... along the same lines of eat me...wowza....

once applied this changes drastically...nope...no more eat me....it

gets very floral and a touch fruity...quite lovely =-)

straight sniff from bottle is myrrh and the blackest of musks...

once applied there is fig and tarragon...this has an almost dark cocoa feel to it....then

a woodsiness that is kind of weird on me....hmmm...

i wanted to love this and maybe with age i will...it just seems to get "green" on me and

it does not make a nice combo; zero orange ...

straight sniff from bottle is that lovely creamy coconut from milk moon 2007...

oooh! once applied the musk, coconut and sage are insanely gorgeous!!! after a few

minutes rose amps up but gently fades...this is such a beauty....love it!!!!

straight sniff from bottle is peppery and clove and yum...

once applied, lots of tea and cardamon with that lovely peppery clove...

after a few minutes the carnation combines with the other notes and i am

absolutely in love with this masterpiece...

straight sniff from bottle is slightly sweet leather...

once applied the leather in this blend is gorgeous...not overpowering at all and rather

dusty...combine this with the herbs and this is a stunning perfume

straight sniff from bottle is thick vetiver and smoke...

once applied a tangy, dried blood combined with the smoky vetiver is knockin'

my sox off!!

this stays dark, thick and sadistic...there's that devil and his pitchfork

i am all for beth's insanely darker scents and this is a winner...thank you!!

straight sniff from bottle is sweet, leathery nutmeg...wowza !

once applied this gets really medicinal! i swear there is a hint of absinthe in there...

i don't really get any of the beeswax...just lots of leather and pepper...woody and hot....

very unique~~

straight sniff from bottle is cardamom and balsam...

once applied this actually "amps down" and somewhat disappears

a few minutes later i get gentle wafts of something woody and green but nothing much

else...

maybe some good long aging will change this and amp it up....

straight sniff from bottle juicy pomegranate and lavender!! omG!!

once applied this gets a bit astringent but amazingly incredible!! i am a hayooge

fan of the lab's anise/fennel so this combined with the dryness and fruity lavender

is nothing short of phenomenal...

this is my fav of the wunderkammer bunch....

straight sniff from bottle is spicy, dark musk ... slightly woody feel...

once applied this does get a somewhat cologne quality but i simply

must agree with my fellow gem's review with regard to jean nate...

scylla, you are so right on honey!!

i really love the uniqueness of this blend!!

straight sniff from bottle is myrrh and copal...resinous, indeed...

once applied the myrrh is astonishing!! the copal combined makes

a smashing combo and there is just a hint of floral...like an incense rose...

this really is so gorgeous and i am thrilled to own a big bottle

straight sniff from bottle is perfumey sandalwood...

once applied the heavy perfume notes amp up immediately and take 30 minutes

to settle down ...

there is definitely a dusty note to this as time goes by and the lovely sandalwood

peeks through now and again...

while this is potent, it is by far the best perfumey blend the lab has to date

straight sniff from bottle is deep, dark rose incense...

applied this is positively glorious~~sweetly smoky but never overpowering...

the incense in this wafts gently and has great sillage...

a winner

straight sniff from imp is fruity and earthy...

once applied i get a lot of peach and strong cedar notes...very interesting...

this has great wear-length for me yet stays close to the skin...

it is an honor and a privilege to own an imp of this

A soft honey sweetness with a resinous twang and the hint of grains, plus a tart little smack of lemon across its backside.

 

This is not Mead Moon at all. This is HEFEWEIZEN MOON! Woo hoo!

 

Beer-loathers, be not afraid, because this is everything that's good about a hefeweizen (the sweetness, the round complex flavor, the richness balanced by tartness) without any of the bad stuff (the lemon seeds, the need to pee afterwards). This perfume is what a good hefeweizen becomes when it goes to heaven.

 

 

Lobster Rating

better than: ...mead.

what more can i say except i second this review with my heart and soul and agree completely =D

straight sniff from bottle is sweet hay and lemon...

once applied this is just beautiful...l-o-v-e

it truly is gorgeous and our resident, beth, truly outdid herself with hay moon...

the notes are nothing short of spectacular and i am in hay moon heaven...thank you for this beauty of a scent!!

I've been reaching for green tea-based scents at night this summer - I have a mister of F5 that's been lovely on the really hot nights. It's got a bit of mint, but not too much, and the aloe & white musk together are really cooling...

here, here...i 2nd tartchef's rec for F5

straight sniff from bottle is deep, dark patchouli and plum...

divine...

the ripe fruits are perfectly balanced with the resinous notes in this perfume...

excellent throw without being overwhelming...a winner through and through...

an excellent choice by our resident perfumess for my twin Gem sistah

straight sniff from bottle is coconut and musky lilac...

once applied this is oh so elegant and feminine...it gets a slightly vanilla edge

and the lilac is not overwhelming...absolutely perfect in every way ...love it!

straight sniff from bottle is sweet, fruity rose...

once applied this is absolutely gorgeous~~the floral fruit is wonderful and tempered

with tuberose and red sandalwood it is a complete winner for me...i will be reaching

for this regularly and can see this as being a fav
